With apologies to Chad Billingsley and Hong-Chih Kuo, Clayton Kershaw was the only Dodger worth watching in 2010. With nine K's over eight IP tonight, Kershaw has a career-high 212 strikeouts. His ERA+ is actually down to 129 from 142 in 2009, but that won't stop me from predicting he'll be the best thing about the 2011 Dodgers as well.

Heading out of town again in the a.m. Hope to be able to jump in and out of the GTs at least a little bit. In the meantime, thought I'd relay a situation from tonight:

[Local MEX cantina]

Arrived a coupla innings into tonight's game. Ordered marg and asked barkeep to tune into the Doyers game. Couple next to me started talking re BoSox game from today but didn't yet know the result. I overheard and told them that Yankmes lost. They thanked me and noted that I'd called for the Doyers to be put on the telly. Then the guy proceeded to give me props for calling for the game even though we are out of contention. Sent us a round on those grounds.
